STANDARD 6
Lower & Upper Body Reactive Power Training System
The Standard 6 (V6) is a six cord training system (three cord sets instead of the two cord sets which the Classic 4 has) which can do everything the Classic 4 can.  However, the additional 5th and 6th band of the third cord set allows athletes to load the arms AND legs when jump training to provide even greater improvements to the vertical jump!  The athlete can simultaneously attach anywhere from ONE to SIX bands to their body and perform explosive training exercises to increase power production of leg, arm and shoulder muscles!

 

        
 

 

 






The new fifth and sixth bands of the Standard 6 unit are primarily designed to be attached to the hands, so as to be able to apply a loading to the arms and shoulders while at the same time doing lower body explosive drills.  The patented Vertimax (Standard 6, Pro 6 and Elite 8) is the only system available that simultaneously loads the legs and arm swing when vertical jump training.  This capability recognizes the importance of obtaining maximum upward arm velocity at liftoff to achieve break-through new heights in an athlete's vertical jump. The Standard 6 eclipses weight vest training  and standard plyometric training inasmuch as the delts, traps, and spinal erectors also experience controlled loading for strength development while performing naturally sequenced sports movements.  One set of Hand Straps come standard with the Standard 6.

 

Training Benefits:
Increases the explosive power of all major muscle groups in the legs to improve the vertical jump and acceleration/deceleration capabilities.  5th and 6th resistance bands can be attached the the hands so both arms and legs can be loaded when jump training to provide an improved jump training response.  5th and 6th bands can also be attached to the shoe to engage in kicking drills to improve kicking power.  


Number of Resistance Bands and Resistance Settings:

The Standard 6 has six resistance bands - two emerging from the left side of the platform, two emerging from the right side of the platform and two bands routed on the top side of the platform that can be attached to the hands or feet. The resistance of each of the six  cords can be individually adjusted to suit the user's needs by extracting the cords out of the machine through the resistance adjustment cam cleats.    

 

Primary On-Platform Exercises:
1) Vertical Jump Training (Quarter Quick or Half Quick) - Many sports-specific explosive exercises can be performed but our "Basic Training Routine" consisting of 'Quarter Quick' and 'Half Quick' explosive jumps will produce immediate and outstanding improvements in an athlete's time out of the blocks, his vertical jump, and  his 40 times! 

 

2) Hip Flexor Training - This rarely trained muscle group is imperative for improving speed.  VertiMax allows you to isolate and develop the explosive power of this muscle in each leg to optimally improve speed. One set of Hip Flexor Attachments come standard with each Standard 6, and can be used to perform exercises such as running in place, thigh drives, and other sports specific movements which will markedly improve thigh recovery time for sprinters, skaters, running backs, etc.

 

3) Vertical Jump Training with Arm Loading - Athlete can attach resistance cords to both the waist and the hands for an improved jump training response. The patented V6 unit is the only system available that simultaneously loads the legs and arm swing when vertical jump training.  This capability recognizes the importance of obtaining maximum upward arm velocity at liftoff to achieve break-through new heights in an athlete's vertical jump. This V6 eclipses weight vest training  and standard plyometric training inasmuch as the delts, traps, and spinal erectors also experience controlled loading for strength development while performing naturally sequenced sports movements.  One set of Hand Straps come standard with the V6. n addition to the arm loading during vertical jump training, the photos above show multiple loading applied during the running motion.  Here, the quads, gluts, hip flexor and calves are loaded for superior drive and acceleration (with bands attached to the hips and using the hip flexor attachment - behind the knees).  It's well known that arm swing speed and leg movement are tied together - the faster you move your arms, the faster you can move your legs. This resistive training methodology integrates all major muscle groups to provide the optimal training response for speed and first-step-quickness.

 

4) Kick Training - Athletes can attach the 5th and 6th resistance cords to their feet and perform kicking drills to improve kicking power and distance. 

Primary Off-Platform Exercises: NOT ALLOWED!
The Standard 6 unit does not allow off platform training where the athlete can step off the platform to perform exercises while resistance cords are attached to their body.
